Title: International Management of Internet Resources Speaker: Rob Blokzijl (RIPE)Abstract: For the Internet to function properly, a set of resources needs to be managed in a co-ordinated way. These resources include Internet Protocol addresses, Autonomous System Numbers, Domain Name System parameters, and Internet Standards. These resources have been traditionally managed by a number of organisations. In this presentation we will introduce these organisations and the way they are organised. It will be demonstrated that they have all been organised along the same lines: by a bottom up and open process of industry self-regulation.

Title: What is RIPE? Speaker: Rob Blokzijl (RIPE)Abstract:RIPE stands for 'Réseaux IP Européens', or European IP Networks. Started in 1989, RIPE is a forum where Internet Service Providers and others interested in the advancement of the Internet meet to discuss and work on problems common to all. In this session we will present a short history of RIPE, we will describe how RIPE is organised, and discuss some of the current work in progress.

Title: What is the RIPE NCC? Speaker: Axel Pawlik (RIPE NCC)Abstract: The RIPE NCC is an independent and not-for-profit membership organisation that supports about 3,400 members in more than 90 countries.

Title: Saving costs through maximising peering relationshipsSpeaker: Serge Radovcic (Euro-IX), Vanessa Evans (LINX)Abstract: The presentation will outline how costs can be reduced within your networks by maximising peering opportunities in Europe and US. It is an interactive session which will attempt to verify the current situation in Russia:

Low demand means prices have remained high

Incountry regulation means less networks being built in Russia

How Layer 2 connectivity can work towards reducing costs and maximising peering relationships.

Serge Radovcic will further outline how the European Internet Association (Euro-IX) provides a useful set of data and tools for those ISPs looking to peer at an Exchange Point in Europe.

Title: Routing: How traffic flows in the InternetSpeaker: Philip Smith (CISCO Systems)Abstract: This presentation is an introduction to how routing in the Internet works.

It introduces some of the terminologies used, gives an explanation of how devices on the Internet communicate, and describes the constituent parts of the network infrastructure between these devices. The presentation looks at the routing design and operation of individual ISP networks, and how those interconnect to create what we know as the Internet today.

Title: IPv4 Address Lifetime ExpectancySpeaker: Axel Pawlik (RIPE NCC)Abstract: In this presentation, Axel Pawlik presents the latest results of research and analysis concerning usage of the IPv4 address space within the Internet. Using the history of allocation by the IANA to RIRs and by the RIRs to ISPs, and of address announcements by ISPs into the global routing tables, it is possible to determine projected dates when all available address space will be consumed. These projections indicate a long life for remaining IPv4 address reserves, however it is noted that no attempt is made to predict environmental or technological changes that may alter future consumption rates.

Title: IPv6 UpdateSpeaker: Leo Vegoda (RIPE NCC)Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview and detailed statistics of IPv6 allocations in the region versus IPv6 allocations in the entire RIPE NCC Service region.

Title: Registration Services and UpdatesSpeaker: Dominic Spratley (RIPE NCC)Abstract:This presentation will be a report on the services requested by RIPE NCC Members in the region and a break down of the Internet number resources that have been allocated to them.

Title: RIPE NCC Training ServicesSpeaker: Rumy Kanis (RIPE NCC)Abstract: During this presentation, we will give an overview of RIPE NCC's training activities over the last year and we will briefly go into the activities planned for next year. The attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the presentation.

Title: K-root Nameserver OperationsSpeaker: Andrei Robachevsky (RIPE NCC)Abstract: The RIPE NCC has operated one of the 13 DNS root servers - k.root-servers.net nameserver since 1997. To improve the regional distribution, resiliency and performance of the root name service provided by the k.root-server, the RIPE NCC have begun an effort to deploy mirror instances of the K-root service throughout its service region using anycast routing.

The presentation starts with an overview of the root server system and then describes the k.root-servers.net server in more detail. It will focus specifically on the deployment of mirror instances of the server, its current status and future plans.

Title : ICT Development in The Azerbaijan Republic - A Transition Economy Speaker: Aflatun Mamedov (Ministry of Communication & IT of Azerbaijan Republic.)Abstract: In this presentation you will be introduced to ICT Development in the transition economy of the Azerbaijan Republic, such as:

An establishment of global information environment, mass usage of ICT;

Creation of new forms of social and economic activities, conversion of information to a commodity, forming and development of information and knowledge market, improvement of educational system, growth of professional and overall cultural level due to enhancement of information exchange systems in international, national and regional levels;
